Re: Matrix Banned in Egypt

[What do you think? Personally, I don't think they banned it for causing 'religious tension', especially after they had aired that Anti-Jewish series during Ramadaan (I can't remember what it was called, Something engineered by Lenin as propaganda and used by Hitler to justify the Holocaust.) My thoughts are that they are either:
"protocols of the elders of zion" engineered by the Czarist secret police (certainly not by Lenin, for reasons i wont go into here). The egyptian film, IIUC, sort of acknowledged they were a forgery, but then turned around and implied they were essentially true anyway.
Which is a very relevant point. If Egypt were merely censoring against violence or whatever, we might not agree with such an approach, but i think we could hardly deny their right to avoid this aspect of globalization. When however, they defend anti-semitic crap on the basis of "freedom of speech" and play it during Ramadan, when viewership is highest, and then have the temerity to turn around and ban western films, it puts things in a different perspective."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

hopefully this won't get me banned, but i had a foreign friend who didn't understand some of the slurs used for arabs, so asked us what "towel jockey" referred to.

anyway, banning the matrix... i think it's more political. many nations have political reasoning behind what they allow to be shown on screens and what they don't--for instance, every movie screen in korea is required to show a korean movie on it for over 280 days a year, and thus, some american movies never get screen time.B♭3Comment

Aren't these the people that went around killing eachother and starting general riots because someone wrote an article that implied Mohammed had sex with more than one woman?“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.
